    PL-115: Fundamentals of Computer Programming

     

    Course Overview:

    This hands-on course provides a comprehensive introduction to programming logic, and builds a solid foundation of programming skills that can be used to master additional programming languages like C, C++, PERL, Java or Python. To learn programming you must focus on a particular language, and we have chosen Java.  In this course you will write and debug programs in Python. If you would like this course to use a different computer language, that can be arranged.

    Attendees to PL-115: Fundamentals of Computer Programming will receive TechNow approved course materials and expert instruction.

    User: tsonger

    Instructor comments: While I could tell the instructor was very knowledgeable, his instructions were not very clear. He could've done a better job preparing for the class.

    Facilities comments: Room was fine. The location of the room could have been better as the dings from the elevator were a bit distractive.

    User: TracyPaul

    Instructor comments: Very knowledgeable. Diagnosed our programming problems in short order. Could go into the details of 'why', versus only the 'how'.

    Facilities comments: Outstanding. The hotel staff did a great job supporting our class.

    Observations of Instructor Led Training with Real Hardware

    TechNow has heard many students talk about virtualized/remote training that TechNow Does Not Do.  While training our most recent offering of PA-215: Palo Alto Networks Firewall Essentials FastTrack a student told his story of how he endend up in our course.  His story we have heard for other technologies like Cisco, VMware, BlueCoat and other products.

    A large percentage of training is moving to the virtualized/remote lab environments.  Students are asked to use some variant of remote access software and remote into the training company's lab environment. Our student in our Palo Alto Networks Firewall course informed us that he went to a very costly offering of that course from the vendor and was not able to perform any labs.  There were either network connectivity issues, or issues with the remote access software, or other problems.  The whole training experience was very frustrating and not productive.

    We keep our labs open to students if they would like after hours, or before hours access.  Repeatedly going through a lab engrains that knowledge for later recall.  Touching hardware is so critical in understanding the problems that arise when a cable comes loose, or a cable gets plugged in the wrong port.  There are other scenarios such as just pulling the power cable, or turning off a power strip, or accidently overwriting a configuration.  These disaster scenarious requires hands-on physical access to hardware.  Preventing and recovering from disasters is what it's all about, and that requires hands-on, instructor led, real hardware.

    TN-412: Artificial Intelligence Essentials (AI|E)

    Course Description:

    Artificial Intelligence Essentials (AIE) is a foundational AI literacy certification that builds practical understanding of AI and responsible use

    The Artificial Intelligence Essentials (AIE) Course is designed to prepare learners for the newly Artificial Intelligence Essentials (AIE) exam. This hands-on program introduces professionals to core AI concepts, practical tools, and safe real-world applications. It equips learners to understand AI systems, use AI responsibly, and boost productivity across roles and industries

    Participants will gain knowledge in understanding how AI systems work, where they are used, how they influence decision-making, and how they should be applied responsibly in everyday, professional, and organizational contexts. The course covers what AI is and what it is not, how data and models drive AI behavior, and how modern AI systems differ from traditional software. Learners develop the ability to interact effectively with AI tools, evaluate AI outputs with informed judgment, and apply responsible practices aligned with privacy, security, and global regulatory expectations.

    By the end of the course, learners will be prepared to use AI confidently, safely, and productively while recognizing limitations, ethical risks, and broader societal impacts. It serves as a universal entry point before any technical, managerial, security, or governance specialization in AI.

    Course Outline: 

    01. Introduction to Artificial Intelligence

    02. Everyday AI Tools and Use Cases

    03. Building Blocks of AI

    04. Prompt Crafting AI-Driven Interactions

    05. AI Ethics and Responsible AI
